World's Largest Car Rental Company Honors U.S. Auto Auctions for Exceptional Service

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise Holdings, which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands, is honoring 14 U.S automotive auctions with its 2015 Auction Achievement Awards. This annual program recognizes auction partners that have gone above and beyond to support Enterprise Holdings' remarketing strategy.

Enterprise Holdings is the largest car rental company in the world as measured by revenue, fleet and employees. In the U.S. alone, Enterprise operates more than 6,200 fully staffed neighborhood and airport locations through its regional subsidiaries and owns more vehicles than all other U.S. car rental companies combined.

"At Enterprise Holdings, we offer a diverse range of late-model, well-maintained vehicles that reflect the preferences of our consumers. Most of the products we bring to the market are low mileage, serviced regularly, in great condition and provide a great deal of diversity with regards to make, model and trim level," said Nate Lattimer, vice president of vehicle remarketing at Enterprise Holdings, in a recent Auto Remarketing magazine article.

"Local auctions are an important component of our remarketing strategy. With nearly a million vehicles across the country, we rely on our local auction partners to help us maximize our opportunities and showcase our vehicles in front of as many buyers as possible in all the cities and regions we serve," said Lattimer. "This year's Auction Achievement Award winners play a crucial role in these efforts, and we're thrilled to salute and thank them for their outstanding performance."

Enterprise presents the awards in two categories: whole-car auctions and damaged-vehicle auctions. Recipients are recognized for exceptional performance in the areas of communication, customer service, marketing and reconditioning, operational success and strategic planning.

The 2015 Auction Achievement Award winners in the whole-car category are:

• ADESA Atlanta
• ADESA Los Angeles
• Manheim Georgia (Atlanta, Ga.)
• Manheim Nevada (Las Vegas, Nev.)
• Manheim Omaha
• Manheim Pennsylvania (Manheim, Pa.)
• Manheim Riverside (Riverside, Calif.)
• Manheim Southern California (Fontana, Calif.)
• Manheim Texas Hobby (Houston, Texas)

The 2015 Auction Achievement Award winners in the damaged-vehicle category are:

• Dealers AA of the Rockies (Denver, Colo.)
• IAA Dallas/Fort Worth
• Manheim Central California - TRA (Fresno, Calif.)
• Manheim TRA Tampa
• Metro Salvage Pool (Des Moines, Iowa)

"Because our regional Enterprise teams work so regularly with local auction operators, they're well-positioned to nominate candidates for the Auction Achievement Awards," Lattimer added. "These local partnerships are critical to our success. When our auction partners win, we win, too."
